EGS November Evening Meeting

Worrying about social media sites? Wondering how to use the sites and stay safe? Looking for direction? Join us this Thursday, Nov 21 as we learn through Thomas MacEntee's previously recorded webinar, Staying Safe Using Social Media. As a genealogist specializing in the use of technology and social media to improve genealogical research and to interact with others in the family history community, Thomas MacEntee relies upon his 25 years of experience in the information technology field.

Thomas now shares his knowledge of technology and experience as a genealogist with others through various forms of social media and speaking engagements. Through his business High-Definition Genealogy, he provides consulting services in the genealogy industry covering such areas as market research, education, technology and more.

As the creator of GeneaBloggers.com, Thomas has organized and engaged a community of over 2,800 bloggers to document their own journeys in the search for ancestors.

The meeting begins at 7:00 pm at the Gail Borden Public Library, 270 N. Grove, Elgin, Illinois. I hope to see you there!
